The custom-built designs can sell for up to six figures, and buyers have included NBA player Stephen Curry and a travelling Chinese theme park.

The company’s owner says the only limit to the playhouses is imagination.

“Some love superheroes and some love princesses, and so when they give us that idea we really just try to understand what their idea is and then bring it to life in a way they would never have thought,” Tyson Leavitt, the company’s founder, told CTV News.

The idea was inspired from Leavitt’s experience building treehouses for clients as a landscaper. He left landscaping last year to begin building the custom-made playhouses, which he says are a great way for kids to unplug and head outdoors.

Leavitt’s wife, the company’s interior designer, has worked on projects including a castle, a pirate ship and a Hobbit-inspired cottage that seems plucked straight from the Shire.

While many Albertans have grappled with job losses and a weakened economy, Leavitt says his business is thriving. The company has buyers from across the globe, which Leavitt says may be partially a result of the weakened Canadian dollar.
